 FOR CAREFUL
 INVESTORS! 10 Years, s Per Cent.
 Gold Debentures. ,
 For some time there has been a growing call on the part of investors for bond which will not by it's terms mature in so short a time as 3 or years, as is the case with the Farm Mortgage, which our customers, and indeed large class of investors are thorough ly familiar.
 To those and that other large class of con- servative investors wstake great pride in of- fering the Gold Debenture, as we believe it to become the popular investment of the day.
 By this we do not mean to detract from the credit justly due the best Real Estate Mort gage Loans, which unquestionAbly furnish absolute security, especially 30 where in the guaranteed form. But, if improvement has been made Gas we think there has), the care ful investor is entitled to the benefit.
 We offer guaranteed Farm Mortgages, pay ing per cent. semi-annual interest, and GOLD DEBENTUREs, paying per cent. semi-annuAl interest, principal payable in 10 years in gold.

ANOTHER BANK CLOSED.
This Time the Cashier Gets Away with
About 100000.

STAFPoRD SPRINGS Conn J, October 10Th.
"A great sensation was created here this
afternoon when the fact became known
that K. S. Hicks. cashier of the Stafford
National Bank, was a defaulter to a large
amount. Upon the banks door was no.
tice that the institution was closed pending
an investigation.
National Bank Examiner Forman said
to an Associated Press correspondent
When | examined the bank discovered
that checks had been drawn by r. s.
Hicks. the Treasurer, on the Third National
Bank of Springfield Mass, TO the amount
of $4,000. | then suspected there was
something wrong in tha banks affairs. ana
upon further investigation discovered til
the cashier had only $500 to his credit.
The exact amount of the deficit can be
ascertained when all the checks that have
been drawn on New York and Boston
hanks are presented and statements rem
dered by those banks. The total loss to
the institution will be over 500, 900. and
of this amount the cashier copfesses To,
have taken SI3 coo. A large number OF
false entries appear on the books. consisting
of oyer-statements of amounts due the
bank from its New York and Boston cor
respondents. The falsity of these entries
has been clearly shown By a careful com
parison of his books wisf the accounts o.

day night and was en- route for Ireland

the third was assigned to Miss Malone.
The victims were temporarily inferred in

President Bayles, of the Health Depart-
ment, is reported to be about to request the
Quarantine officers to turn over to the
Health Department all passengers from the

they are allowed to enter this city. Presi-
dent Bayles expresses his determination not
to allow any OF the persons on the Alesia
to set foot on Manhattan Island until the
development of cholera has passed the
bounds of possibility.
Another death from cholera occurred at
Swinburne island to-day. The victim was
child. There are now nine cases on the

fhe Moorish waters will soon witness an
assembling of men-of-war of all countries,
IN which event America will be repre-

olage, the Journal continues, is unknown,
ana 1t IS possible that the participants are
animated by widely divergent intentions.
II the object be to guarantee the
equilibrium of the Mediterranean, the
programme is extremely vague, and sverv
dangerous. France and Spain, which
alone have direct and positive interests
there-the chief of which is to prevent
Morocco from becoming second Bulgaria
should establish mutual understand
ing.
The Journal expresses the hope that the
Sultan will recover, and that the men-of-
war will leave, which will be the best
thing that can happen for Morocco.
